Best is the campus life and worst is the time management

it's a quiet and peaceful place with good staffs, and good for living, I love this place. But the student accomdations on campus are limited and expensive, which should be improved.
we don't have classes, so nothing to say. But supervisors here are so supportive. One thing can be improved is that we have limited devices in psychology department
Societies at Warwick are really active, for example sports clubs have lots of training sessions but also socials (drinking and non-drinking) which helped me to meet people
I would have preferred to have more contact hours (I have 8 per week), but the amount is similar to other business courses. All of our contact hours are in-class which I like. The careers team is great and you can have 1:1 meetings to get personal advice. I would have preferred to have a personal tutor who works in the field I'm interested in. For example, my personal tutor is an operations lecturer, whereas I am interested in a career in accounting.
A lovely place to live (near the lake) and close to the academic buildings (especially WBS which I where most of my lectures and seminars are) as well as the sports hub. Cannon Park is more of a walk, but that's ok because you only really need to go once a week. It's nice and quiet which I liked because I don't enjoy parties. Most people in my flat also preferred staying in, so we had lots of film and games nights together instead. Thanks to Warwick's questionnaire which matches similar people to live together, I'm still close friends (and live with) with 4 of my flatmates from first year.
While Warwick isn't in the most central location, it only adds to its charm and aesthetic appeal as a campus. The facilities provided only emphasise this, essentially creating a small town within the university boundaries, really giving a community feel to everything you do. The Students Union only furthers this, providing a diverse range of opportunities with student life. Student support could be improved, streamlining the services and raising public awareness of such would go a long way, but overall, if you aren't looking for a 'big city' kind of atmosphere (which you can still get with one bus journey to Leamington Spa!), then you really can't do much better than Warwick.
All done in person makes it a positive experience, and so much more worthwhile than online teaching. Tutors are also easy to access through the Tabula system, so any questions or concerns can be answered fairly easily. Contact time tends to be 2h per week per module, half to a lecture, the other half to a seminar. I don't feel as though I need more contact time in a week, and it meets the right balance between having a flexible university life and an academic one.
Sherbourne is objectively a good acccomodation, however, a few small factors may affect the experience if deemed important to you. Firstly, price. This has become an issue not just within Sherbourne, but across all university halls accomodation on campus, but the price paid for accomodation is extortionate, particularly within a cost of living crisis. Sherbourne is one of the more expensive accomodations, and it is truly telling how steep the rise in cost has become when I can interact with students on campus who remember when it was around £30 *a week* cheaper. The facilities in Sherbourne are still of a good quality and well maintained by a lovely and hardworking team, yet it is hard to ignore such a key issue of price when it feels so steep. The rooms are of a good and spacious size, so Sherbourne does provide everything a student may want and need, it is just simply the case of whether you have the disposable income for it. Secondly, the distance from campus may be an issue for some, as it is around a 15 minute walk from central campus, compared to 5 minutes if not less for most other accomodations. Personally, I enjoy the walk, and the beautiful maintenance of the natural beauty of campus goes a long way into easing any concerns I would have about the walk, I can however understand why it may be an issue for some people. Overall, I do enjoy my university accomodation, both in terms of facilities and the people I have interacted with, yet the issue of price is the one major flaw in an otherwise positive experience.
The best aspects are the facilities and the location. The feeling is very homely and it’s quite family like and a very embracing and can do attitude. I think that they have a very innovative culture and encourages people to be themselves and aspire for the best
Very good teaching facility, the quaility of lectures are very good and of high quality. They are very good in prospering us for the world of work
Very good quality but expensive compared to accommodations in the city centre
Studying at Warwick and choosing WBS for completing my Master's was the best decision ever. The University, Culture and Peers would never let you feel out, you get opportunity to involve in almost everything you're interested in and the culture is very supportive.
My course is taught online but the materials, assignments, work opportunities, engagement opportunities, course support nothing makes me feels that I'm not on campus or am studying from other corner of the world. I always feel involved and informed which makes it all so much better and easier to complete my degree.
Worst aspect: the school of medicine isn’t great, it looks very old and lacks space to work. More could be done in the school of medicine to make it more of a community similar to WMG or WBS Best aspect: the campus is beautiful with nice infrastructures and campus life. Student Unions does an amazing job, which help students meet each other from diverse backgrounds.
I am doing a PhD, so I do not have lessons ro attend to. However, the University makes sure that I am being followed and supported throughout my program and making sure my supervisors are there to support me.
Location and flat is great. It is however very expensive for what we get. A small room, small shower and share kitchen with 11 others. Water tends to not be too warm which we have complained about several times without change. Cleaning staff is very kind.
I think my favourite thing about the university is that they offer good support and you will most likely find a community at some point during your degree. There is so much to do and the campus is stunning and great for people who love being surrounded by nature. I feel like the negative aspects of the university tend to be personal for the most part so there's nothing I can think to mention.
The best part about my course is that there are a wide range of modules to explore and in that sense, you're bound to like it most of the time. However, there are not many people who talk about being in this course - there isn't much awareness in general. It can also get a bit confusing when calculating how many humanities modules you have to take and confusion surrounding approaching your dissertation in third year.
It was pretty quiet and I got respectful and clean flatmates so it wasn't horrible. The distance between my block and central campus was pretty atrocious though.
The best aspect of the university is the academic support as well as the student engagement program are refreshing and inspiring. The university has always been able to provide students with a healthy environment to study and network with experienced individuals to learn about the industry of their choice. Each student has a personal tutor to mentor students throughout academic year, which I personally have benefited greatly especially when I was confused assignments marking and employment during studies. While doing this, University of Warwick is a sound place to be mentally and physically healthy with facilities to keep a check. There are well-being programs that run throughout the terms that talk about managing stress, anxiety, to boost your moral and dealing with unexpected outcomes. It was a surreal experience as a student to have such events to participate and share. A prospect I would have benefited from is better meal plans and professors-student connect events. As a student managing meals during class running from 9am to 6pm is quite difficult, University should have affordable meals sponsored from the grocery stores and food outlets for students.
Cyber security management is a well structured course at the University of Warwick, and the faculty is diverse. I initially chose this course since I am an experienced cyber security professional. Now, I am sure I made the right choice because of the supportive and diversely experienced faculty CSM provides. We have tutors from academic, industry and doctoral backgrounds who are great conversationalist. Cyber security branch lead and my personal tutor have helped me learn the right way while pushing me to elevate my experience while studying at the university. The modules teaching is designed in a way it is understandable by security student at any level, the modules are well distributed throughout the year and the learning outcome of the modules are completely covered in the assignment which are rigorous in nature. The course is certified by NCSC and the dissertation topics are in line with CyBok. There should be a separate society for postgraduates in the university, as CSM has some experienced students and listening to their work will be helpful. Cybersecurity is a domain where learning from experience is a great opportunity, hence the conference and connect events are highlight in this domain.
The resident halls at the university are good. However there are a lot to be considered before making a choice from the list of halls and about the room allocation. If anyone is starting to stay at the university do connect with alumni to learn on how to choose a location, flat/room and facilities. The facilities around the campus are same throughout all the residents, the student team and the resident committee too. The location of the residence definitely explains the engagement with the central campus however, all the residence have infrastructure that allows students to interact and enjoy. The rooms, common area, kitchen are quite the best part, as they are good and better than expected compared to the other accommodation outside the university.
Best - nice community feel to the campus, lots of support available if needed Worst - it's not central to many cities so if you live off campus it is hard to commute everyday
Best - I personally love the range of specialised topic on my course that allows you to take your own route with it as you get the option to choose from a wide range of modules. Worst - The department could have more opportunities to offer internships.
Best - it's so close to central campus so is the perfect location and the townhouses have a really modern feel to them. Worst - some facilities (eg. Laundry) didn't always work and there wasn't enough for all of the people living in Cryfield to use so it gets very busy.
